Dear All,            May 27, 2008
    Today at North Alton a patch of Goldthread (Coptis trifolia), that 
has developed on a slate section of road that I leveled in 1984, was in 
full bloom today. Large toothed aspen (Populus grandidentata) buds were 
just barely showing leaves. In an open grassy roadway, a small Buprestid 
(Anthaxia inornata (Randall)) was locally common on Dandelion flowers 
and usually mating.

    When I got home I found a tick of the usual size and mottled 
coloration on my back and an hour or so after having decided there was 
only one I found a second but smaller (~2-mm wide) and dark.
Yt, DW, Kentville
